Reinforcing its commitment to sustainable development in the steel strengthening chain, Altona was awarded Silver status by EcoVadis - the world's largest and most reliable provider of corporate sustainability ratings.

The EcoVadis medal program highlights qualified companies that have passed its evaluation process, showing a relatively robust management system that addresses the sustainability criteria outlined in the organization's methodology. It is awarded to companies that are in the top 35% of all clients assessed (the program currently has more than 100,000 companies assessed).

This certification is the result of the incessant search for modernization in management processes, geared towards an ecologically correct approach. We are aware of our social role and, above all, of the increasing levels of understanding among employees of the principles and values that underpin the organization, as well as the market's stricter demands for guarantees of sustainability.

Aiming at a more conscious future in relation to the environment in which it operates, Altona is also part of the UN Global Compact in Brazil, an initiative that engages the private sector in actions aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
